Month: April 2015

First off as a note to the blog, I know it has been a long time since I’ve posted anything. This was honestly one of my older attempts at creating interesting things, edited a bit. I do want to get back into the habit of this, though.

Now about the archetype itself. It has always bothered me that Clerics of ideals and even clerics of gods look just about the same. They all channel positive energy (or maybe negative energy). They all heal, or sometimes hurt, and they get a few 1/day abilities (domain spells) to differentiate them. The goal here is to put forth a cleric that felt more like a cleric of that ideal.

Cleric of the River Freedoms (Cleric Archetype)Devotee to Freedom
You treat any active adherent to the River Freedoms as a believer of your faith for abilities and spells. You treat anyone who has knowingly violated the River Freedoms as an enemy of the faith for spells and abilities. You cannot pick a deity, instead acting as a cleric of an ideal.

Exemplar of the Outlaws
If you chose Contracts/Oaths, Freedom, or Luck as a variant channeling, you can choose whether to heal or harm with it on any usage, instead of choosing when you create your character. However, the targets only take the secondary effect, gaining no healing nor taking damage. This modifies channel energy only if you have one of the mentioned variant channeling abilities.

Domains
You may pick two domains, but you do not gain the abilities from either domain, only gaining domain spells. You instead gain Brittle Bonds, Never Quiet, and Freedom to Live. This modifies the domain class feature.

Brittle Bonds (Su):
As an attack action, he can make a touch attack on an object or construct that does 1d6 damage + 1 per cleric level. If using this on an object, its hardness is replaced by it’s caster level for this attack (non-magical items have a caster level of 0). If this ability gives a restraint the broken condition, any creatures it is holding gains a +10 bonus to CMB or Escape Artist checks to escape. This ability can never bring a magical item below 1 hit point. Brittle Bonds can also be used to make a sunder attempt without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. This ability can be used 3 + Wisdom modifier times per day. A use is expended even if the touch attack misses or the sunder attempt fails. You may also choose to lose 1 orison slot for the day when you prepare spells to be able to use this ability at-will.

Never quiet (Su):
At 5th level, you may use any spell to either as a counterspell to or as a standard action to automatically dispel (without a check) any spell that causes magical silence or any spell with the [sonic] descriptor that is the same level or lower level than the spell.

Freedom to live (Sp):
At 8th level, 3 times per day, you can automatically remove all transmutation[curse] spells on a non-enemy of the faith within 30 feet as a standard action as per a successful Remove Curse. You can also attempt to use this to negate all enchantment spells as per Dispel Magic. For every cleric level above 8th, you gain an additional use of this ability.
